As of 23 March 2025, I' been a customer of Vivint since the middle of 2022. Over the last 12…read moremonths, the smoke/carbon detector has been going off more frequently as every month past. When talking with Vivint Representative during trouble shooting, there response was the dust is why the alarm would activate. I had my ventilation ducts cleaned, and after several weeks, the alarm continued to be set off 3 to 4 times per month. Finally, Vivint agreed to replace the detector. The same vivint Representative I spoke with on replacing the device, said I would also receive prepaid postage to return the old faulty detector. Upon receiving the new detector, I opened the package to find the new detector with no prepaid postage label or even a return address to ship the old faulty smoke detector. The directions were not detailed enough to program the new detector into the vivint hub panel. So, I had to call Vivint and to get the detector setup and get them to email me a return address to mail the faulty detector to (58 minute phone call), which should have not taken over 10 to 15minutes at the most to complete. Here is further information, highlighting why the phone call took so long. First of all, customer service had very broken English, I could barely make out every other word they were saying. I was having to ask them to repeat what they were saying. 2nd, I ask them to clarify procedures for returning the faulty equipment. The Representative, first said the faulty equipment didn't have to be returned (red flag) completely contradicting what the first Representative had told me 10 days prior. I told the Representative, that I'm not going to be on the hook for a ridiculous fee of not returning faulty equipment, and the information that he was giving me was conflicting information of the first representative. I requested email to be sent to me with a address to ship the faulty equipment to, and after 45minutes waiting on the phone, I finally received the email. It didn't take but 5 minutes to give him the numbers off the new device and he manually entered it in his system and it appeared on my security panel. Vivint has a good product in my opinion, please work on the setup instructions and improving customer service. I hope this review has been helpful.

Likely the most dishonest and lazy company I have ever dealt with…read more First, they lied about the contract length on the phone. The rep who signed us up was "very helpful," but misled us into believing the 5-year term was for "financing" only -- not a contract -- and that we could cancel anytime. Dishonest right out of the gate. When I called back to ask about it, the rep said, "It's not what was said on the phone, it was in the contract." A company with real integrity, apparently. The service side is just as bad -- absolutely lazy. After the initial install, I tried multiple times to reach my local rep about adding some other options. Crickets. A year later, we needed service to reinstall part of the system. The technician, Tom Frank (badge #2520), was completely uninterested in helping. We had 6 sensors already wired to the panel that just needed to be mounted -- two screws each, one ladder, maybe an hour's work. He said he only had 1.5 hours, then canceled the entire appointment rather than mount even one sensor, leaving my family unprotected. I intend to report them to the CFPB for misleading financial sales tactics, and to the BBB and every review site I can find. Fair is fair. To be balanced: the cameras themselves are great.

We received no help from Scott Alarm and we stopped the noise by removing the battery. When the power came back on at 2 in the morning, the system blared again. Two police officers came in response to the alarm and assisted us in disconnecting the sound device. While they were in our home, we called Scott Alarm 3 times, each time being told they would connect us to their service department. No one in the service department ever answered, even after we had explained that police officers were in our home trying to assist us with the alarm. Since that time, we have left numerous detailed messages which have never been answered. We are paying for an alarm system that has left us unprotected for 5 days and we are outraged! There seems to be no way to get this company to perform according to our contract with them. We tried to stop payment to them and there was no way to do this. If anyone has a suggestion on how to get relief from this company, please post that as soon as possible.
